If you’ve become a part of the 2019 community gardens at the WHCA, or if you’re an aspiring/practiced gardener looking to get more experience for your green thumb, then stop by and check out our gardens opening on April 27th and take in the great garden talk by Calgary’s Cottage Gardener Janet Melrose!
To coincide with Spruce It Up!, our community clean-up day, we are also have a clean-up and preparation of the community garden plots. Volunteers from Youth Central will be present to help get your plot in tip-top shape so you can use your new-found knowledge from Janet’s garden talk while it’s still fresh in your mind.
Janet’s talk begins at 10 am and has a $10 admission for the general public but can be attended for free if you own a 2019 Community Garden plot with the WHCA. Topics to be covered include:
- Using your space wisely
- planting techniques
- companion planting
- crop rotation
- and more!
